House Washing Service

We offer an exterior building and house washing service for homes and small commercial buildings throughout Tauranga, Mt Maunganui, Papamoa and Te Puke areas.

At V.I.P. we use either a soft washing method or water blasting, as appropriate.

To minimise the potential for damage, the much preferred method is the soft wash, which utilizes a soft-bristled brush and a lot of elbow grease. The brush is attached to the end of a long pole, through which water passes all the way up to the brush. The operator agitates the soil with the brush while water sprays over the surface, then rinses the surface off with the running water. In some cases, gentle chemicals will aid the cleaning process. We use the most environmentally friendly chemicals that still work effectively, always preferring those with minimal foaming and color.

Water blasting uses low pressure equipment (typically under 2,000 psi) that will not damage paint or brickwork, not the high pressures involved in paint stripping, industrial cleaning and the like. Some homes cannot withstand even the low pressure water blasting option, which can damage the water tight membrane on monolithic cladding, force its way inside window and door casements and frames, and enter deep into vents and ducts. In addition, some weatherboard clad homes may leak under the force of water blasting. Water blasting does have a place and can be effective on brickwork, concrete, some decks, garden woodwork (fences, gates, pergolas etc), tiles and patios, and many other finishes, if used by properly skilled operators, such as your local V.I.P. Franchisee.

We are normally able to reach to at least 5m high, depending on the ground contour near the building.

Testimonial

We had the pleasure of using your services recently and in particular of having our rental property in Otumoetai cleaned and tidied by your franchisee Neil Macleod.

We had an unfortunate situation wherein a tenant vacated the property and left it in a poor and dirty condition with large amounts of rubbish left behind by the tenant.

Your initial communication with us was professional and timely and you provided us with a good quote in record time. Mainly because of the speed of communication we decided to go ahead and employ your services.

We (and more importantly - the new tenant), were very impressed by the work done and the friendly and professional nature of Neil.

Thank you for helping us make a great impression with our new tenant - much appreciated.
